NAME
    Perl6::Currying - Perl 6 curried closure syntax for Perl 5

SYNOPSIS
    use Perl6::Currying;

    my $add = { $^a + $^b };        # Create a HOF that adds its two args

    print $add->(1,2), "\n";        # Call it

    my $incr = $add->(1);           # Bind the $x argument to 1
				    # to create an increment HOF

    print $incr->(3), "\n";         # Increment a number

    @data{0..10} = ('A'..'Z');

    # Use HOFs as map, grep, and sort blocks
    print join ",", sort { $^y <=> $^x } 1..10;
    print join "\n", map { $^value**2 } 1..10;
    print join "\n", map { $data{$_-1}.$^value**2 } 1..10;
    print join "\n", grep { $data{$^value} } 1..10;

    my $div = { $^x / $^y };        # Create a HOF that divides its two args

    print $div->(1,2), "\n";        # Do a division

    my $half = $div->({y=>2});      # Bind the denominator to 2
				    # to create a halving HOF

    print $half->(42), "\n";        # Half of something
    print $half->({x=>42}), "\n";   # Same thing via binding

    my $twelfth = $half->({y=>12}); # Rebind the denominator
    print $twelfth->(24), "\n";     # A twelfth of something

    my $bad = $half->({q=>12}), "\n";       # Error: no such parameter

DESCRIPTION

    The Perl6::Currying module lets you try out the new Perl 6 implicit
    higher-order function syntax in Perl 5.

DEPENDENCIES
